Navigating Age Gaps & Life Changes in Marriage: A Story of Love & Commitment

Question
When I first met my husband he a college kid in a rock band. At first, I had a problem with our age difference because he is 5 yrs younger than me. Soon after we were in a serious commitment, we became pregnant. We decided to have our baby and shortly after our son was born we got married. Hubby rush his graduation, quit his band and found himself a great career. We had a great life together. Sure we had our ups and downs, but we made it work and we love each other. Recently, he joined another more well establish rock band and decided to quit his career to pursue music. Currently, he is touring with his band for months at a time. We hardly have anything to say on the phone, and I have become incredibly insecure about the lifestyle that comes with the limelight. I have to take care of our kid by myself and I am spend my nights working or alone. I am miserable but I don't want to get in the way of his dreams.... Yet my dream is to be with him and our son...Should I forget about my dreams?

Answer
Rockin,
I would say you need to sit and brainstorm with him about how you can either travel with him or stay connected while he is on the road. People make this work, but it definitely is not an easy thing to do. You need to talk with him directly and let him know your concerns. Don't threaten. Let him know what you want for you and your son and see what you both can figure out.
